In the unit of Nature of Science we learned about measuring, which includes studying the metric system, which is the easiest way to measure something. We learned about accuracy and precision. Accuracy is how close you are to the true value of something, while precision is when either the calculations or measurements of something show similar results. You can be accurate but not precise, precise but not accurate, neither, or both.
